Google has said that self-driving minivans are not the sharing proprietary, however, and the vehicles will not be offered for sale to public. The other auto companies are accelerating efforts to master the complex hardware’s & the artificial intelligence systems that are required to allow vehicles to pilot themselves. “Minivans fit into the transportation fleets easily,” Karl Brauer, a senior analyst.

Google has also said that they don’t want to build the self-driving vehicles of their own but, working more closely with Fiat Chrysler has really helped Google in refining its systems in stepping forward in the regular production of the cars.
